While the Demon Kings were talking among themselves, the Zhu sister and brother duo werent interested in knowing their intentions. Li Jiao was huddled on one side. He completely lacked the stance of a Sect Master or powerhouse as he deliberately went to chat and flatter the two Dragon Clan members, but without the guts to go any further, a troubled look covered his face.

After an hour, Yang Kai suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although he cut a sorry figure, obvious joy could be seen on his face.

Zhu Qing and Zhu Lie immediately knew that Yang Kais theory was correct at one glance. Otherwise, he would never show such a happy look. Both of them secretly cheered.

Meanwhile, the Demon Kings looked horrified and their hearts were gripped with bitterness.

This couldnt be helped, the Abyssal Returner cub in Yang Kais arms was covered in frost, obviously because it had swallowed a lot of Yin Wind on Yin Wind Mountain. And from past experience, solving this problem was quite easy, but it certainly wasnt what the Demon Kings were hoping for.

Yang Kai nodded to Zhu Qing before turning his gaze to the crowd of Demon Kings, like a butcher looking at a herd of lambs. Zhu Lie and Zhu Qing rose into the air without speaking a word, surrounding the Demon Kings in a triangle formation along with Yang Kai.

Li Jiao thought for a while before hurriedly joining them, releasing his own Emperor Pressure and assuming a ferocious look on his face, giving the impression that he could swallow them in one bite.

Sirs and Madam, please wait a moment! The Charm Demon hurriedly stepped up and loudly spoke, perhaps forced or perhaps of her own will, either way sweating buckets, We have had a discussion and are willing to help you make the Abyssal Returner stronger, to help Sirs and Madam leave this place.

Oh? Yang Kai raised his brow and enthusiastically asked, Its interesting for you to cooperate of your own will, but if I dont satisfy you, then Ill be ill-at-ease. So, who is willing to die first?

The Charm Demon hurriedly wiped the sweat off her forehead and corrected, forcing a smile on her face, The Abyssal Returner consumes anything related to the Demon Race, and its strength can be increased using the Demon Qi, but it doesnt mean that it needs to devour my clansmen, Sir.

I know, Yang Kai nodded before adding, But isnt this the most efficient and direct method?

The Charm Demon replied, The most direct method, yes, but the most efficient, not necessarily.

Yang Kai asked with a shadow of a smile lingering on his face, How is it inefficient?

The Charm Demon summoned up her courage and replied, There are only so many Demon King-level Masters in Demon Fury City. May I ask, what would Sir do if the Abyssal Returners strength isnt enough to leave this place after swallowing all of us?

Yang Kai frowned before adding, Although there are only so many Demon Kings, there are a lot of other Demons in Demon Fury City, swallowing all of them would be enough.

The Charm Demon continued, How can these clansmen be compared with us? Sir is also a Master himself, so Sir should know that strength doesnt have anything to do with quantity.

Yang Kai smiled, What you say also makes sense. Good, I will give you a chance to convince me otherwise.

The Charm Demon was taken aback and immediately replied, This Mistress has heard that among humans there is a saying, do not kill the goose that lays the eggs. Sirs current practice is exactly that. If you want eggs, you must not kill the goose that lays them.

Would you be willing to be the goose that lays the eggs?

The Charm Demon replied with a wane smile, Its better than the alternative, death. We are willing to cooperate, and allow the Abyssal Returner to devour our Demon Qi. Although it wont be as fast as directly swallowing us, it shouldnt be much worse, and it has the benefit of maintaining a source of energy. As long as we are alive, we can provide the Abyssal Returner with the energy it needs to grow. Sir is wise, Sir should be able to weigh the pros and cons.

Yang Kai lightly snorted before indifferently asking, And if I insist on killing the goose that lays the eggs?

The Charm Demon nibbled her lower lips before she looked at the other Demon Kings and aggrievedly replied, If Sir insists, then we will have no choice but to fight back. We might have no hope of succeeding, and will just be speeding up our deaths, but... if we all die, the Abyssal Returner wont get any benefits. Sir probably doesnt know, but the Abyssal Returner doesnt eat the dead, only the living.

Having finished her peace, she nervously looked at Yang Kai, and with the other Demon Kings silent as well, the atmosphere was turning a little serious.

In front of everyones eyes, Yang Kais face became serious. He pondered for a while before a look of realization appeared on his face, No wonder it didnt swallow those Demons last time, so this guy is a picky eater!

The Charm Demon couldnt help but be a little dumbfounded. Seeing Yang Kai thinking so seriously just now, she naturally thought that Yang Kai was considering their proposal, who knew that it was actually something so irrelevant.

Just as she was about to speak, Yang Kai continued, I can follow your suggestion and not kill you. Massacring an entire city goes against Heavens Will, so if not forced, this Young Master is not willing to do so. However, whether you live or die will depend on your performance.

Just as he said this, Yang Kai threw the black puppy over.

The Demon Kings were all struck with panic at the sight of this and instinctually dodged. Having just seen the black puppy swallow the Blood Demon in one go, they were naturally wary of it.

In the end, the Charm Demon was more reliable than the others and courageously caught the black puppy.

The black puppy opened its mouth wide and instantly, everything went dark before the Charm Demons eyes. The Charm Demon was so terrified that her entire body went limp, helplessly watching as the big mouth closed down on her. She couldnt do anything to escape.

A smacking sound suddenly rang out as Yang Kai slapped the black puppys head, who immediately let out a whimper, but it still promptly closed its mouth, finally letting the Charm Demon escape.

You cant eat her! Yang Kai looked at it with a serious look on his face, Dont pretend to be a fool. No means no!

The black puppys ears immediately drooped.

Its all good now. Yang Kai broke into laughter, looking at the Charm Demon.

The Charm Demon was frozen on the spot. After a good long while, she finally awkwardly reacted, Im a little limp, which one of you will come first.

The Demon Kings hesitatingly looked at each other, but in the end, a Bone Demon came out and volunteered in a hoarse voice, Ill go first.

While speaking, he strode to the black puppy and pushed all his Demon Qi. In a flash, surging Demon Qi emerged from him and fiercely flowed towards the black puppy.

The black puppy suddenly got excited and opened his mouth wide again as a strong suction came from its wide-open jaw, sucking in the Bone Demons Demon Qi and swallowing it into its abdomen.

A black line visible to the naked eye appeared between the black puppy and the Bone Demon. A steady stream of energy was flowing from the Bone Demon to the black puppy, owing to which the frost covering the black puppy slowly began to melt.

The Bone Demons cultivation was good, his aura placing him somewhere between the Second and Third-Order Emperor Realm. He was definitely ranked among the top ten Demon Kings in the city.

But such a Demon King couldnt even last the time it took for an incense to burn before the black puppy.

No matter how much he pushed his energy, the black puppy devoured it clean. Its small stomach was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

After the time it takes for an incense to burn, the Bone Demon, whose Demon Qi had been devoured clean, staggered. The pulsating ghost fire in his eyes had dimmed significantly, obviously because of the excessive consumption of his strength.

Staggering, he walked to one side and sat down cross-legged to recover.

With an example having been made, the other Demon Kings walked to the black puppy one by one and followed the same pattern.

One by one, the Demon Kings walked up the black puppy and left soon after. Each and every one of them had almost been drained to death.

Even the strongest Demon King present could only persist for the time it took for two incense sticks to burn before he was exhausted.

After three hours, all the Demon Kings were left sitting on the ground in rows.

Yang Kais face turned a little dark. Although he knew that the black puppy had gotten stronger, it was definitely not enough to take them out of here.

The Charm Demon had been paying attention to Yang Kais posture and expression, so she immediately said, forcing herself to be enthusiastic, This Mistress can summon all the Demon Great Generals in the city here. Although they are weaker, they are greater in number.

Yang Kai lightly nodded, whereupon the Charm Demon used a technique to summon all the Demon Great Generals.

Not long after, Demon Great General-level figures flew over from every direction of the city one after another.

As the Charm Demon said, although the Demon Great Generals were weaker in cultivation, they won in numbers. In any case, they could contribute to making the black puppy stronger.

When the crowd of Demon Great Generals arrived, they were taken aback at the sight of the Demon Kings plight. They were uneasy, wondering what fate awaited them.

The Charm Demon summoned some of the strongest Demon Great Generals to her side and whispered to them, making them turn pale. From time to time, they glanced at the black puppy with apprehension.

Very soon, all the Demon Great Generals knew why they were called over.

With the Demon Kings taking the road before, they knew that they couldnt resist, so they lined up before the black puppy and pushed out their Demon Qi.

The Demon Great Generals were far worse than the Demon Kings, as each of them was only comparable to a Dao Source Realm cultivator. They could only persist for a few dozen breaths, that was all. The suction from the black puppys mouth seemed to be able to squeeze out energy from their bodies, making them unable to hold out for long.

One after another, the Demon Great Generals became dead tired.

After a day, the Demon Great Generals round was already over. Everywhere, Demon Race members were sitting cross-legged, restoring their energy. It was an extremely spectacular sight.

But just a short span of one day wasnt enough for the Demon Kings to completely recover.

The black puppy impatiently growled a few times. Since its birth, it had never eaten so refreshingly. Although it wasnt as delicious as eating a Demon King directly, eating this way lasted longer, allowing it to revel in the pleasure of savouring its food.

The Bone Demon, who had gone first, had no choice but to get up and repeat what he did the day before.

Yang Kai, who was coldly watching from the side, knew that this would only be a vicious cycle. The Demon Race members wouldnt get enough time to recover, owing to which, the energy they could provide to the black puppy would become less and less, eventually becoming almost negligible.

After weighing his options for a while, Yang Kai took out a few bottles of recovery-type pills, woke up the Charm Demon, and asked her to distribute them.

The Charm Demon appeared to be hesitating as she wished to ask what these pills were, but didnt dare to ask.

Yang Kai let out a cold snort before taking the initiative to explain, freeing her from her worries.

The distribution of the pills was finished in no time. The Demon Kings who had taken the pills were all smiling happily. Obviously, their recovery speed had become much greater.

The Charm Demon walked back. She seemed to be able to tell what was on Yang Kais mind as she whispered, Sir, please dont worry too much. At this moment, the World Principles are biased toward your Star Boundary, but once the principles change, our recovery speed will be greater. At that time, things will go much faster.

I hope so. Yang Kai remained noncommittal.
